Now it is time to add your name. The settings I used are below :

Font : Al Sandra

Size : 85 Pixels

Background Color : #000000

Foreground Color : Set to nul

Once happy with the placement of your name - go to your layers pallet - then right click on your name layer - then click Convert To Raster Layer.

Now apply your Drop Shadow (using the same settings you have been using)

Now add any copyright/credit information. Do not forget to include your license #.

Once you are happy with everything on your new tag - go to your layers pallet - right click on any layer - then click Merge - then click Merge Visible.

Then if you need to you can crop off any access canvas around your tag that you did not use.

If you would like you can re-size your tag if needed. This all depends on where you will be using it and what the size guidelines are for that particular website.

If you do re-size your tag - be sure to apply one final Sharpen . (Adjust - Sharpness - Sharpen)

This helps it stay crisp looking. I feel if I re-size something it then appears blurry so I always Sharpen when I re-size something smaller :-)

Now all that is left is to save your tag as a PNG file & you have completed this tutorial!!♥
